Education is something very close to our hearts here at Newconomy, demonstrated by our recent inaugural online conference – which you can still watch for a limited time only. We also have our own set of courses, which we think are pretty great. Today we’re going to take a look at what we think are the Top 3 Free Cryptocurrency Courses for Beginners. The requirements are quite simple:

This is a fantastic course which does a great job of demystifying the nuts-and-bolts of what cryptocurrencies actually are, and the areas they have an impact on, including; Economics, Politics, Markets, and Society. It provides a general overview of blockchain technology, general use cases, crypto ecosystems, creation and management – and why all of these subjects matter. Meltem has an enviable track record when it comes to the study and understanding of digital assets and the technology that underpins them, often appearing on national television as a crypto pundit, as well as organizing many digital asset conferences.

Another brilliantly valued course. This 6 weeks, online program requires 12-15 hours a week, includes collaborative group projects, weekly modules, and flexible learning – all to give you head start with understanding blockchain technology. It provides a comprehensive understanding of what blockchain actually is, and how it works (a surprisingly rare feature!). The ‘Oxford Blockchain strategic framework’ is also included, which is meant to help the student make better strategic business decisions. A certificate of attendance is also included.

Hyperledger is a multi-project open source collaborative effort hosted by The Linux Foundation, created to advance cross-industry blockchain technologies. If you are at all interested in systems and how to get involved in a rapidly growing section of the blockchain industry, this is the course for you! 3-4 hours a week study over 14 weeks, with a verified certificate upon completion (for $99 USD). It examines blockchains for the enterprise and a number of pertinent use cases from Hyperledger; including ‘what is blockchain’ and deep dives into enterprise-ready frameworks.
